    Let's not pretend that we only lost by 10 to last years NBA champs. We lost by 10 to a different variation of last years title team.
    If you Jimmer it, they will come.

    Yep: 2015s title team, and the 2016 finals team. Unacceptable.

    What exactly needs to happen to this team for us to finally have a great team?

    Fire Demps + Gentry?

    Trade DC?

    Trade DC + AD?

    Trade Jrue?

    Because we can't put up with this same roster for an another year.

    Yeah, yeah. Tonight's game was winnable.

    But I swear the whole IQ talk is such a stupid meme here.

    The Warriors aren't impossible to beat because of how smart they are. THey're impossible to beat because of how talented they are and how well they're coached.

    You know that those two teams had a different dynamic because Andrew Bogut was playing down low for them, right? We lost to the Warriors, not THE WARRIORS.

    Shut up. If you lose to a team with three all-stars, that's been to the finals three straight years and rung twice, with a coach of the year behind the wheel, it's cause you're a dumb team who just sucks and probably shouldn't even try.

    Obviously.

    Guys, no one in the west is winning a championship as long as the Warriors are around. Get used to it and the games will be more enjoyable.

    We can put up with this roster for another year, we just need a better FO and coaching staff to hold players accountable.

    Go Saints. Tomorrow will be a continuation of tonight in regards to my stress level.

    ...who are overwhelmingly favored to win another title, and in fact many people think they have a shot to match the Jordainaires?

    Trying to in any way downplay the Golden State Warriors as an opponent, on their home floor, is just...? I don't know. You can't there through normal processes. It suggests people arguing that way kind of need the Warriors to be something other than what they are to prove some point.

    You start every season in the NBA anymore 0-4 (or 0-2 in the East). If you do something to move that needle, hey, it's a gift. But you don't worry about it much otherwise. Even Houston and the Spurs are just playing to be the best non-Warriors team. Everybody else just wants to sneak into the playoffs and win a round or two before the Warriors knock them off.

    Say what you want, if I'm looking at a team coached by Kerr with Curry, Klay, Draymond, and Iguodala on it, it's the warriors and you can expect them to be elite.

    But, coaching can only do so much though. At the end of the day, we just simply do not have enough talent to compete with the best. We need that 3rd slash/drive/physical Westbrook/Wall type point guard.

    Complete nonsense.

    If you can't put up with a playoff team, or a 45 or even 50 win team, as a fan of a franchise that has won 40+ games once in the last 7 years or whatever...

    Of course they are favored to win the title, but tonight they were without KD. KD takes that team to another level.

    You're right: cause the Thunder are doing so well.

    Yup, I agree. And having Durant on the team is a luxury.

    In theory perhaps. He's why they are unbeatable in a series now. But then again they won fewer games last year with him than they did without him, and won exactly 1 more playoff game. He's icing.

    What makes you so confident that we are going to the playoffs or even get 45 wins? Do you see our schedule? Do you see our next 10-12 games? It could be debated that we can go on a 2-10 or 4-8 run.

    The fact that our 11-9 record projects to a 45 win season and we have wins over the Thunder and Spurs and are sat in the middle of the playoff seedings despite having a reasonably tough schedule so far?

    Is this the same "THE WARRIORS" team who lost to OKC on Wed. that just lost to Dallas tonight?
    Please make some sense of that.

    THE WARRIORS. Let me remind everybody:

    well, my man, take a look at our next 10-12 games...I see 4 wins if we continue to play like this.

    Don't do projections. Simply just look at every single matchup/game by itself, and then tell me if you think we can beat that team.
